I've really been suffering, I feel week on my legs and very imbalanced for months now to the point I barely leave the house. I'm not on any medication but I've tried a few. Does anyone else have this? I'm really suffering. It's hard to explain the imbalance. Just curious because I have no headaches at all but I was told those migraines can be without headaches and cause a feeling of imbalabce. I want my life back and need all the help I can get.

    Hi Melissa.  So sorry to hear about your struggles with balance.  Have you been seen by a doctor?  If not, that is probably the best place to start.   Your PCP might want you to see a neurologist for the balance problem. Your symptoms don't sound like it's Meniere's Disease but your doctor is the one who can help clarify this for you.  best of luck.

      I have seen a couple doctors, but I did get a test that they blow air in my ear and it showed a weakness, so I guess they diagnose menieres like that. I've gotten full virtigo once and very full ears.

      Hi, thanks so much for the response. Did you feel imbalanced at all? What did they prescribe you? What were your symptoms

      Of the migraines?
